Italian superstar Zucchero has officially released his celebrated album Chocabeck in the US (iTunes / Amazon).

Zucchero Releases North American Edition of Chocabeck + Tour Dates
Zucchero explained in a recent interview that "chocabeck" is a word his father made up when he was a child. When Zucchero (born Adelmo Fornaciari) would complain that he was hungry, his father would tell him to wait for the Chocabeck. "I waited for this 'chocabeck' that I pictured as a giant chocolate cake. It hasn't arrived yet and I'm still waiting!" he shared with a laugh.
Zucchero, who has collaborated with some of the biggest names in music - Sting, Eric Clapton, B.B. King, and Andrea Bocelli to name a few - is currently on a world tour in support of the record.
